For Elaine N. Marieb, taking the student's perspective into
account has always been an integral part of her teaching style. Dr.
Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College, where she
taught anatomy and physiology to physical education majors. She
then joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of
Holyoke Community College after receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from
the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her
students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to
better understand the relationship between the scientific study of
the human body and the clinical aspects of the nursing practice. To
that end, while continuing to teach full time, Dr. Marieb pursued
her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science
degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the
University of Massachusetts. It is this experience, along with
stories from the field–including those of former students, now in
health careers–that has informed the development of the unique
perspective and accessibility for which her texts and laboratory
manuals are known.
In her ongoing commitment to students and her realization of the
challenges they face, Dr. Marieb has given generously to provide
opportunities for students to further their education. She
contributes to the New Directions, New Careers Program at Holyoke
Community College by providing several full-tuition scholarships
each year for women returning to college after a hiatus or who are
attending college for the first time and would otherwise be unable
to continue with their studies without financial support. She funds
the E. N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College,
which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and
generously contributed to the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst where she provided funding for reconstruction and
instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory that
bears her name.
In 1994, Dr. Marieb received the Benefactor Award from the National
Council for Resource Development, American Association of Community
Colleges, which recognizes her ongoing sponsorship of student
scholarships, faculty teaching awards, and other academic
contributions to Holyoke Community College. In May 2000, the
science building at Holyoke Community College was named in her
honor.
Additionally, while actively engaged as an author, Dr. Marieb
serves as a consultant for the Benjamin Cummings Interactive
Physiology¨ CD-ROM series, and is an active member of the Human
Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Association for
the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and Sigma Xi. Human Anatomy &
Physiology, Ninth Edition is the latest expression of her
commitment to student needs in their pursuit of the study of
A&P.
Dr. Katja Hoehn is an instructor in the Department of
Chemical and Biological Sciences at Mount Royal College in Calgary,
Canada. Dr. Hoehn's first love is teaching. Her teaching excellence
has been recognized by several awards during her 14 years at Mount
Royal College. These include a PanCanadian Educational Technology
Faculty Award (1999), a Teaching Excellence Award from the
Student’s Association of Mount Royal College (2001), and the Mount
Royal College Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award (2004).
Dr. Hoehn received her M.D. (with Distinction) from the University
of Saskatchewan, and her Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Dalhousie
University. In 1991, the Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation
presented her with the Max Forman (Jr.) Prize for excellence in
medical research. During her Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies, she
also pursued her passion for teaching by presenting guest lectures
to first- and second-year medical students at Dalhousie University
and at the University of Calgary
Dr. Hoehn has been a contributor to several books and has written
numerous research papers in Neuroscience and Pharmacology. She
oversaw the recent revision of the Interactive Physiology modules,
and co-authored the newest module, The Immune System. She has also
played a large role in the development of A&P Flix™ animations
and the Video Tutors in MasteringA&P, serving as a consultant
and academic reviewer.
Dr. Hoehn is also actively involved in the Human Anatomy and
Physiology Society (HAPS). When not teaching, she likes to spend
time outdoors with her husband and two boys, compete in triathlons,
and play Irish flute.
